“If you're looking for a babysitter you can trust completely, Katia is the one! She has cared for our twins since they were 6 months old, and they absolutely adore her. She treats children like her own, with warmth, patience, and endless energy. Katia is always on time and 100% reliable, so you can head out for date night or a weekend plan with total peace of mind. She keeps parents in the loop with photos and video updates, so you never have to wonder how things are going. She follows your routines and rules, handles behavior with a gentle but consistent touch, and makes sure the kids are happy and well fed. She is fluent in Spanish and helped our twins become bilingual, a wonderful bonus for any family. Her English is excellent, and she communicates clearly and kindly. Kids love her, parents trust her, and she makes every visit fun and safe. We can't recommend Katia highly enough!”
Hi there! I’m a 54year-old mom with a 23-year-old son in college and a super sweet 10-year-old mini poodle. I love hiking, family time, and being around kids and pets. I work from home full-time for Stanford Health Care, so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays, plus evenings, late stays, and weekends. I can help with babysitting, school pick-ups, dog sitting, dog walking, driving, cooking, and light cleaning—whatever makes your life easier. I’ve been caring for kids my whole life (nieces, nephews, friends’ little ones), and I truly enjoy it. I’m also looking to make some extra money to help support my son’s college costs. For peace of mind: • Global Entry (clear background) • Clean driving record • Total dog lover! If you’d like to chat and see if we’re a good match, feel free to reach out. Thanks for considering me!
